The Ministry of Corporate Affairs has embarked on a substantial initiative to foster fair competition and deter anti-competitive practices in India. Effective February 20, 2024, the MCA has implemented Section 33 of the Competition (Amendment) Act, 2023. Some of the key provisions include - 1. Increased penalty limits on entities found guilty of anti-competitive behavior. 2. Enhanced powers of the Director General (DG) 3. Introduction of a fast-track approval process for specific mergers and acquisitions aims to streamline procedures and reduce administrative delays. 4. Enhancements to the leniency program encouraging entities to come forward with information about anti-competitive practices. This is a welcome development, and I assume this will act as a deterrent against anti competitive behaviour and encourage efficiencies. #competitionlaw #disputes #competition #business Vidhikrit Legal
